1. They had to drag in a lawmaker on oxygen

In order to have the numbers to override.

I wish I could still be shocked.

But I can't.

Go Marc!

4. Kansas will be sued

But the Republicans will run out the clock, and the courts will decide that it's too late to fix the crooked state map in time for the 2022 elections. The elections will be held under these corrupt auspices, and the newly-installed legislature will take up redistricting in 2023. Do you suppose they'll make a fair map, or an unfair map, like the unfair map that put a lot of them in their seats, and effectively diluted Democratic votes? That's a real head-scratcher, isn't it?

Then, when the new 2023 (or, more realistically, 2024) map comes out, and is challenged in the court, then the Republicans will run out the clock . . . and you can pick it up from that point in the first paragraph above.

This is what passes for your constitutionally-protected right to vote in this country.
